Let me take this opportunity to talk about religion a little.
I was raised a hard Catholic, Apostolic and Roman.
All the catholic church brought me was pain, suffering, misery, hurt and sorrow.
I have recited ten billion Holy Fathers, 2 trillion Hail Marys and 1 million other stupidities.
I was forced to attend mass every day without breakfast. On Sundays, one regular and one singing. Still no breakfast. In Latin. So you couldn't understand the teckum terekum.
Of course, it was forbbiden to us to read the bible. Besides, it was in Latin.
In my particular case, I left my Dear Cuba when I was 13 and landed in a boarding school in Mexico. For the rich and unwanted.
We were in there for nine months straight. !/2 a day on mother's day. 1/2 on father's day. 2 hour visit on Sundays. If your family cared to visit. My "family" went once a month.
I had the misfortune to grind my teeth while sleeping. In a twenty bed dormitory.
I suffered too much punishment for that, to try to even remember. The motherfukker priests, wanted to "get the devil out of me". They never told me this. Well, they put the devil in me.
To top it off, I was the only foreigner against 2000 mexican unwanted rich kids.
The first year, I lived in the infermery. Beaten and brusied every day. But I learned how to fistfight.
The second year, I made top 5 of the worst of the baddest. Bully time.
I had to kick, push or punch someone every day to maintain ranking. Even if I didn't feel it.
If there is a hell somewhere else (I think we live in hell), the catholic church should have been in that mutherffking place right after they killed Jesus.
What was left for me?. Create my own religion.
I believe in a Superior Power.
The most important person in my life is Me. Without Me, there is nothing.
I have been fortunate enough to be a giver. Never a taker. Hence my belief in luck.
I don't need love. I need respect. Love is welcome if there is respect first.
It's too much to enumerate, so I'll leave with the basic.
Thank you for reading.
